Tracking this scam experience, several details gradually emerged.



**Malware is the Breakthrough Point**

The reason hackers could infiltrate the device lies in a Trojan hidden within a certain software I downloaded. This is the most direct intrusion method—once the Trojan is embedded in the system, the attacker gains the initiative.

**Why a Specific Wallet Was Targeted**

They chose the wallet that has been kept open on the webpage and logged in for a long time. This is a critical vulnerability—being logged in means private key operations do not require re-authentication, giving hackers a direct transfer opportunity.

In contrast, other wallets remained locked at all times. Since hackers did not have the password, they ultimately had to give up. This password defense line indeed played a role.

**Reflection**: Long-term login status + malware = high-risk combination. Regularly logging out, downloading cautiously, separating hot and cold wallets—these basic protective measures are now clearly important.

It's the login status causing the trouble again. I told you not to take shortcuts for convenience.

Damn, login status really is the root of all evil... I’ve made this mistake too, almost caused me to go bankrupt.

Damn, staying logged in for a long time is really asking for trouble. Once a Trojan horse comes in, you're done for. The lesson is too deep.

Oh no, it's another long-term login... I almost fell for it last time, but luckily I responded in time.

It's the same old trick... Trojan horse + login session, definitely a way to bring money to your door.
